I received a Digilog 800 protocol analyser a while ago. It's essentially a portable/luggable (50 lbs(!)) multibus-based computer from 1985 with: - built-in 10" colour monitor - flip-down keyboard - ST-2<something> hard-disk (ST-225?) - 3.5" floppy - 6-slot multibus backplane - three(!) 80186 CPUs along with an AMD 29116 and an 8085. The multibus boards all appear to be of proprietary design, rather than some off-the-shelf boards. I don't know why there are so many 80186's. I suppose one might construe it as an unintended comment on the computing power of the '186. A little googling finds some period marketing info: "the model 800 operates at 256 kb/s, is equipped with a 10-Mb Winchester disk and has nine soft-function keys and a 10.5-inch color CRT." and refers to it as a "4th generation protocol analyser". Powered up it goes though a couple of self-tests, fails on a Winchester boot problem, requests a system floppy be inserted (which of course I don't have) and hangs, and of course I received no manuals. On the one hand it was pretty good stuff for it's time, might be an interesting architecture, and speaks to a particular time and need in networking development. On the other hand, the lack of docs, complexity, and limited and outdated target application leave me with difficulty coming up with a compelling reason not to scrap it. Anyone know anything more about it, or have any interest in it? (location is Vancouver, B.C. area)
